When it comes to makeup, achieving a flawless and long-lasting look is every beauty enthusiast’s goal. However, with busy schedules and unpredictable weather, keeping your makeup intact throughout the day can be quite a challenge. Especially during Dubai’s summer… But fret not, because, in this guide, we bring you expert advice and game-changing tips to ensure your makeup stays fresh, vibrant and impeccable from morning to night. Get ready to unlock the secrets of makeup longevity and step up your beauty game like a pro come heat or humidity. You’re welcome.<\/p>\n

Prep and Prime<\/h3>\n

The key to long-lasting makeup lies in prepping your skin properly. Start by cleansing and moisturising your face to create a smooth canvas. Then, apply a primer that suits your skin type to create a barrier between your skin and the makeup, ensuring it stays put for longer. Look for primers with mattifying properties for oily skin or hydrating formulas for dry skin. They work to smooth out the skin’s surface and set your base, helping makeup last longer and not melt away. Many even contain SPF protection too, helping you tick multiple beauty boxes with just one product pick.<\/p>\n

Say see-ya to streaky mascara and keep panda eyes at bay by opting for long-wearing and transfer-resistant formulas<\/a>. From foundations to liners. lipsticks to concealers, there’s a waterproof option for everything these days, and they’ll help ensure your makeup lasts longer thanks to their budge-proof, smudge-proof powers.<\/p>\n

Set with a Spray<\/h3>\n

Offering a hydrating and refreshing boost whilst setting your makeup, face sprays are a surefire way to keep\u00a0your cool\u00a0and\u00a0<\/em>your makeup in place, which is why you’ll find one in almost every makeup artist’s kit. “I like to spray a light fixing spray a couple of times during makeup application”, recommends leading Dubai-based makeup artist Kasia Domanska<\/a>. “Before I apply moisturiser is the first layer, the second layer is right after I have applied cream-based products, and then I spray another layer once I’ve finished the makeup application. My favourite is Make Up For Ever’s Mist & Fix because it hydrates the skin too!”<\/p>\n

Prime Your Peepers<\/h3>\n

Eye makeup tends to fade or crease easily, so make your eye look last all day by applying an eyeshadow primer. Working just like your face primer, it smooths the skin on your lids for flawless application, helping your colour \u2018stick\u2019 and last longer. So no smudging, creasing or fading in the heat. Yes, please.<\/p>\n

Choose your TOOLs<\/h3>\n

The right tools can make a world of difference in how your makeup wears and lasts. Invest in high-quality brushes and sponges that allow for smooth and even application. Synthetic brushes are ideal for cream and liquid products, while natural hair brushes work best with powders. These tools will help you achieve a flawless application and ensure your makeup lasts longer.<\/p>\n

Layer Your Powder<\/h3>\n

Thought setting powder’s sole purpose was to finish your makeup look? Think again, because by using your powder before<\/em> your foundation, you can help your makeup stay put. This simple switch helps mattify the skin, control excess oil and reduce shine, in turn helping your foundation last longer. This is particularly beneficial if you have oily skin, but you can also use powder on specific areas of concern if you have combination skin.<\/p>\n

\"KVD

Blot IT OUT<\/h3>\n

Throughout the day, excess oil can make your makeup appear less fresh. Instead of piling on more powder, which can result in a cakey look, use blotting papers to absorb oil and mattify your skin. Gently press the blotting paper onto your skin, focusing on the T-zone or any other oily areas. This quick and easy touch-up will revive your makeup without disturbing the rest of your face.<\/p>\n
